Rebel Mechanics
“For a moment, I feared my role with the Mechanics had been discovered and the authorities had come after me, but then I recognized Nat running toward me. “Hey, Verity! There you are!”
“Did Lizzie send you?” I snarled.
“Nope. Alec did.”
Had Alec been in on the deception? He hadn’t been there, but had he known? “What does Alec want?” I asked.
“We’re havin’ a big party with the general’s money, and he was afraid you got lost.” His eyes narrowed as he apparently put together the tearstains on my fa...ce, the fact that I was fleeing, and my agitated state. “Is something wrong?”
“I—I need to go home,” I stammered, the tears threatening to spill again. “B-but the roadblocks. I’ll never make it through.”
He patted me on the arm. “Easy, there, Verity. I can get you outta here. Don’t you worry about that. Come on.” He led me down a short flight of stairs to a basement door, which he opened, gesturing for me to follow him into the gloom. I felt my way through a narrow passage toward a square of light at the end, where Nat held open a door that led into a barren yard between buildings.MoreLess
